Natural Factors Oil of Oregano 180 mg 60 Softgels are one of the herbs ChelseaMarket.ca offers. Take a look at other herbs.

Oil of oregano is no average herb. Before modern science could point the finger at bacteria, herbalists and traditional doctors used oregano to effectively treat infections of all kinds, both topically and internally. As an antimicrobial it has the power to directly kill bacteria, viruses, intestinal parasites, and fungal infections.

As excessive use renders many antibiotics ineffective against resistant strains, natural remedies become increasingly valuable. Oil of oregano is one of the few remedies that can fight superbugs, including the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Oil of oregano is also a powerful antioxidant capable of scavenging free radicals and preventing cellular damage. It is a more potent antioxidant than vitamin E, and is four times higher in antioxidants than blueberries, and 12 times higher than oranges. Oil of oregano has anti-inflammatory qualities as well as demonstrated anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic properties.

Natural Factors Organic Oil of Oregano is wild-crafted Mediterranean oregano, hand harvested from the Origanum vulgare plant, and is available in both liquid and convenient softgel formats. Natural Factors Oil of oregano is guaranteed to contain a minimum of 80% carvacrol.

Who is Natural Factors?

Today, Natural Factors is one of the largest manufacturers of nutritional products in North America. But their origins reach back to the 1950s, and right from day one, they’ve always been fully committed to making products right. They are not a public company with shareholders to impress. Instead, they care about impressing you.

Everything Starts With the Soil

Their farm has truly unique soil, built up over millennia as water from Otter Lake repeatedly flooded the valley below. The floods deposited a tremendous amount of organic matter onto the land. The resulting alluvial soil is extremely fertile. This incredible top soil is over two metres deep in places and has special lime stratification, which plays an important role in neutralizing the pH of the soil.

Controlling the Harvest

They also have full control over the harvest. For example, they selectively handpick the echinacea flowers, picking only the mature flower heads, because they contain the highest levels and best ratios of active ingredients. That’s a great advantage over mechanical harvesting, which doesn’t allow for selection based on the maturity of the plants

Seed Selection

One of the advantages of doing their own organic farming is having complete control over seed selection. They make sure to choose true “species” non-hybrid, non-GMO seeds. It’s very important to make sure that the seedlings are natural and healthy, because healthy seedlings mean healthy mature plants. Some of the open pollinated, non-hybridized crops we grow are Echinacea purpurea, astragalus, alfalfa, and lavender.

Their Facilities

They have close to 700,000 square feet of space across nine locations in North America, housing offices, manufacturing and production facilities, laboratories, distribution centres, and extensive warehouses. Their head office is in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Our new US office is in Monroe, Washington.

Industry Leaders in Manufacturing

Their vitamin and supplement manufacturing capabilities include tableting, liquid and powder extraction, multi-ingredient aqueous granulations, and a liquid fill line. They are the only branded manufacturer of nutraceuticals in Canada to have their own softgel encapsulation facility, giving them further control over the end product. Theirsoftgel facility can produce up to four billion softgels per year.

Big Enough to do it Right

They believe we need to be “big enough to do it right.” This means bringing as many processes in-house as possible. They are one of the only nutritional companies to have their own organic farms, their own extraction, encapsulation, and production facilities, their own labs and research facilities, and a vast network of academic, scientific, and retail partners.
